Hailing from north London, West was raised by her single mother. She turned to poetry as a way of dealing with the hardships in her life. Some of her most well-received poems include ‘The Crown’, a poem about natural hair, and ‘Let’s Be Honest’, a poem about the pressure to have sex before one’s ready.

Her affinity for emotive poetry has so far earned her recognition from the UK Entertainment Awards 2016, as well as performing at various shows from YouTube UK Spaces to the Black Magic Awards.
